Finally





Well..there ya go..my truck..oh and my dog...with snow. :P
~Bri~

Spring is here? Winter venges...







Ok, it has finally gotten warm the last few days..getting over 5 degrees..which is a very nice change from minus 10-20..lol. The downside..all the snow is melting...creates lakes on the roads and..in some cases...basements...
I have a crisis currently downstairs where my buns are located...it is SEVERELY flooding..yesterday morning I checked buns and I could see the usually tiny bit of water in the center where its lowest which is normal like last year. Plz note all my buns, equipment and my moms stuff is on pallets. At about 5pm I went down and totally stopped in my tracks, it has flooded to the TOP of the cement in the center, about 2 cms from going past the pallet where the cage with the babies and all my carriers are. The worst part..its flooded into the "safe" area where my other buns are and where I walk (crawl) everyday..about an inch of it. Last nite I moved Nova into a carrier to seperate her from her babies and today I was going to clean cages and clean Nova's cage. So Nova was in a carrier right on the floor when I went down..the carrier almost floating and the whole bottom had water in it. Luckly Nova is safe now..above ground. So basically I have lost some equipment that wasnt a match for the water..my grooming table is half covered..and a bucket full of stuff is under water now as well as a couple carriers. I will try to move all that stuff today and see if I can save it.
Now..to what happens next..its still warm out and Im positive this water is going to keep rising..its rising every hour...im VERY worried about my buns, I could move all the cages back but I dunno if thats enough. The other thing Im worried about is whats in that water. Today was suppost to be cage cleaning day where I clean those cages and sweep the floor of unwanted hay..which is all underwater now. Did I mention my mats and most of my towels are under water now too..lol.
So in case things get very bad before getting better, I MAY have to move my buns to another location somehow. If anyone has an area that I can use if need be, can they email me asap.

I will post another blog later about my truck with pics..that came home yesterday. I was suppost to get new pics of the jrs too..but may have to wait now.

I have posted some pics of downstairs currently, yes again I was suppost to clean cages today so it is a mess...I still dunno how im gonna clean em...

Wheres spring!

Well..of course I live up north but this is starting to drive me nuts..lol. Where is Spring!!!
Last year all the snow was gone by the beginning of March, which I believe is a first here..lol. This year, its back to normal..almost. Hard to believe spring will be here next week even though theres ALOT of snow on the ground and it keeps snowing..been snowing today and yesterday and got dumped 20+cms on monday (there was no school because of it and 7 hours of freezing rain)..I find it very funny that when the snow plow finally comes to clean the driveways around here, it starts to snow again. When will it end! I want to actually walk like a human being and not walk on eggs or skating if ya know what I mean. ;p
In other news not related to weather! Working my butt off in everything, cleaning and playing with buns and other animals I have, working and of course..school! I am getting very high marks concidering how "active" my life is right now. I still havent driven my new truck yet, its been in the shop for 4 days now..but thats good here because most of the time it takes 3+ weeks to get a car to be looked at..lol. Apparently its done today..lots of new stuff on it..but the windows are still not in and so it has to go to the glass shop afterwards..waiting sucks!
Bun related news, all 3 jrs are still available to breeders, I am willing to make some good deals on them plus add a few breeder related items if a breeder does take em. Great starter package to get into fuzzies! I am willing to ship to BC or deliver to the Chestermere show at the end of April. So far the black doe is indeed the best pick right now, GORGOUS gal, short, cobby and cute head and ears..starting to go into gangles thou. The broken (I still dunno if shes a black or siamese, she is much lighter then her mom) is wide still and very cute. :P The sable point buck..hes interesting..I believe he will have ear control but hes so cute and sweet, what more could you ask from a buck! Hes also VERY VERY tiny, im perty sure hes gonna be at the 3 pound mark if that as an adult. The black doe will be about novas size and the broken will be much larger..but shes still a cutie! There all still living together, no fighting and all LOVE to cuddle. Everytime I go downstairs there all sleeping in the corner together, eat together and all that stuff. :P The rest of my buggers are doing well, spoiled with treats and stuff. :P
Funny story yesterday and the day before, I was about to go to bed after feeding the buns a couple hours before, I heard some thumping...usually Roc or Ari will stomp if theres a strange noise...but I couldnt hear any noises and it wasnt there cages. I looked downstairs, its Mocha of all buns..then all of a sudden..POOF..Zoey appears out of nowhere in front of the stairs...LOL. Thinking to myself..how the... I went downstairs and very funny..she RAN to her cage and literly grabbed her food dish..LOL..she wanted seconds..haha. So I closed her cage door, thinking maybe I left the door open somehow. The next morning, I hear it again just before going to school..Mocha again..went downstairs again, theres Zoey staring at me..shes so mellow she would much rather come and see u then run off..lol..thank god..haha. So I put her back and looked at the cage door, I BELIEVE she has figured out how to get out..lol. I ended up putting a lock thingie on her door and thats been good ever since..little..I mean big brat..haha.
New layout concerned, I dont wanna put it up if its still snowing and everything..winter is still here! Next week its going up cause its also officially spring too. :P(I need to finish it anyways, need to fix a couple buttons) New pics are coming again as well since the babies keep changing..as well as new pics of Ari finally..shes a gorgous little gal now. :) Thats about it, cyah!

Whats Up



Well here ya go! These are somewhat recent pics of my wee ones, taken at 7 weeks of age. Yes there a beauty! and a huge change too! We got a sable point buck, a black doe and a siamese or black doe (I still dunno! her coat keeps changing color and she isnt the same color exactly as her mom when they sit close together)
I said I would put my new layout up but things have come up again..too busy now..guess it was gonna happen. I will put it up soon, I do have it finished but gotta update it!
So..what have I been up to?
Well a couple weeks ago I got a job at a restaurant, so im working now!
Also a very big excitement here...I got my first car on thursday. Very funny story there...
Basically I have seen this baby blue jimmy in a parking lot for a week now and saw it for sale for a very cheap price. I kept asking my mom to look at it but for a coworker at my moms work to look at it too cause they know cars and I dont. Well on thurs the coworker was with me so we went to look at it, said it was a good deal and an hour later we bought it! Also it looked like we were 10 min away from losing it cause there was this other car beside the jimmy while we were signing papers..very close I think!
So me,the coworker and my sis were going to drive it back to moms work in the shop to fix the minor stuff on it. Turns out it was almost out of gas so drove it to the gas station of course. Typical enough it died there. No its not a piece of crap..lol..the starter on it was never replaced and it decided to go then and there..lol. Fortunately we were only 3 blocks from the shop. We pushed it about 50 feet and finally my moms boss shows up and pulls us to the shop..lol.
Well, about my jimmy...its a 1991 S-10 jimmy, baby blue in color. Its in EXCELLENT shape, the interior looks brand new still and lots of new stuff in it! The creepy part...its a BC truck...and where its from..this is the creepy part...its from Cedar (where I used to live). It was just brought up here almost a year ago which is when I got up here! Very creepy..and I bet ive seen it before too!
So, typical guys at the shop repainted a lot of stuff on it, put some stripes down and a new stereo is now in (apparently the old owner had the stereo stolen out of there and she never replaced it), all the parts about to fall out are hooked back in and on monday its going in to get fixed, the minor parts like a fuse is gone so the windows on the left side dont work. Its gonna be one sweet ride after im done with it! Did I mention my buns and my dog can ride with me now..lol.
In other news! School is good so far, high marks (80s-90s) now which I havent seen since gr 9..lol. The bun buns are happy and full of it, spoiled as usual. :P
Im trying to make a decision right now about a few things..its very hard but I kinda have no choice right now. Life never stops and things happen! After school is over I would like to go into some serious work and money for that matter so im not gonna have time for much at all really. I will update my site soon but to let anyone know this. I am selling all my jrs even though its gonna kill me..ha..ha...I feel there is no point in wasting a nice show animal in a home like mine where it will never been shown. I will also be willing to let go of Snow as well under certain conditions. I am NOT selling any of my buns available to pet homes, they will go to breeder homes only to be used and looked after. Eventually when I get my crap together and have a house possibly, then I will start again, one condition for sure..I would like to get a relative or something from them when I start again. Lots of other stuff as well but u gotta email me if ur interested. I can ship to BC or deliver to a show if possible.
So im sticking to my 4 fav buns which got me started in all and ended it all as well.
Oh and to anyone, I am still available for bun info and such like chatting about buns..lol. I have lots of experience and its not like I just disappeared on the ends of the earth. :P
So I will try to update my site asap when I get a chance! Cyah
